Li Gouwa was thrown into the water four or five times, and was also rescued by Ruan Xiaoqi four or five times, and was also carried upside down and spit water four or five times.

From the incomparable fear and panic at the beginning, to the numbness of habits later.

Li Gouwa can't remember how she finally learned to swim, as if she was enlightened in such an instant.

Then you can float on the water and not sink again.

Looking at Li Gouwa, who was swimming in the water with tears of joy, Ruan Xiaoer turned his head to look at the other twelve sailors who couldn't swim yet, and shouted: "See, if you want to learn to swim, you have to be like him." Don't worry, drink a few sips of water and you'll learn! ”

Hearing Ruan Xiaoer say that he would learn by drinking a few more sips of water, the twelve sailors who watched what happened to Li Gouwa scolded wildly in their hearts.

Nima's. Is this called drinking more sips of water? I didn't see what Li Gouwa was tossed at the beginning, so I'm about to collapse for you!

Seeing that those sailors were still afraid, Ruan Xiaoer clapped his hands with a stick and shouted expressionlessly, "Now do you want Lao Tzu to throw you into the river, or do you jump down by yourself!" ”

Hearing Ruan Xiaoer's shout, looking at Ruan Xiaoer's fierce gaze, those sailors swallowed a mouthful of water and walked to the boat in a trembling manner.

Some gritted their teeth and jumped into the water to learn to swim in the water.

When some people were still hesitating, they were kicked off the boat by the three Ruan brothers.

Even though the twelve sailors knew that they could not die, they instantly forgot about them when they fell into the water, and struggled and shouted in panic.

Ruan Xiaoer stood at the bow of the boat and watched, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were soaked in the water, and after hearing the second brother's order, they fished the guy who was not fast and had sunk to the bottom of the water, and then rescued him urgently.

woke up, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi immediately threw them into the water without saying a word.

After desperately tossing them in such an afternoon, the sailors who had not learned for a month had learned all of them in one afternoon.

Although he is not proficient yet, he has at least learned to swim.

Tossed his subordinates for one day, and the next day, Ruan Xiaoer took 200 sailors on the 11 big ships.

Ruan Xiaoer stood in front of the 200-member sailor battalion and shouted, "If you want to be a sailor, the most basic condition is to be able to swim." But being able to swim is only a basic condition, and you have to be accustomed to life on the water, and be able to withstand the pain of wind and waves. From today onwards, everyone is on board, and we are going to live on the water for a month. During this time, do not think that you will be able to go ashore, and all the food, drink, and sleep will be on the boat! ”

Hearing that they would have to live on a ship for a month, some sailors suddenly shouted, "What? I had to live on a ship for a month, which I hadn't done before! ”

Ruan Xiaoer shouted, "Shut up, it used to be before, and now Lao Tzu is in charge of the water master." Whatever Lao Tzu says, you can do. If you are not convinced, you can! As long as you can win Lao Tzu, you can disobey! Who dares to come, who wants to come? ”

"Lao Tzu is not a bird, you are a bastard!"

When the four sailors heard this, they immediately stepped forward and pounced on Ruan Xiaoer one after another and punched Ruan Xiaoer.

Ruan Xiaoer sneered, blocked a punch, picked up the opponent's belt, and shouted: "Go down for Lao Tzu!" ”

That guy was thrown into the water by Ruan Xiaoer.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Xiaoer sank down and mixed with the other, his body rose upward, and pushed the other party on his shoulders and pushed him into the water.

Dodging the punch of the third sailor, he clamped the opponent around his waist with his right hand, and after the fourth man's fist was missed with his left hand, he choked the opponent's neck.

Dragged the last two people to the side of the boat and shouted, "Go down to Lao Tzu!" ”

With a plop, the two sailors threw Ruan Xiaoer into the water.

In an instant, four sailors were packed, and before the first sailor could climb aboard.

Ruan Xiaoer jumped into the water by himself, pulled the man down, and forced him into the water. And then the second, the third......

Tossed four sailors back and forth seven or eight times, and it looked almost the same.

Ruan Xiaoer fished the four guys who were about to roll their eyes onto the boat.

Ruan Xiaoer climbed onto the boat to inspect the sailors, and shouted: "Who else is not convinced, say!" ”

Looking at Ruan Xiaoer's fierce face, and then looking at the two deputy generals Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi staring at him with a grin, those sailors dared to speak again and shook their heads in unison.

"Sail!"

Ruan Xiaoer shouted with a wave of his hand.

Eleven ships sailed out in unison and headed for the depths of the water.

In the first ten days, Ruan Xiaoer did not let the sailors practice killing against the enemy, but only let the sailors adapt to life on the water and skillfully control the ships.

If there are sailors who are seasick, Ruan Xiaoer does not have such a good heart, and will slowly let them adapt. It was directly for people to tie the seasick guys to the mast of the ship and take a rag and stuff it in their mouths. It doesn't matter if you vomit or vomit, you can stay on the boat.

The thousand-year-old king of the eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise.

The harder this person is, the faster he can adapt and grow!

In the past, the sailor battalion couldn't do this, and it didn't adapt to that, so it couldn't become an army.

Now under Ruan Xiaoer's tough and violent methods, the sailors have so many problems, and some of them have been cured.

After ten days and half a month, I saw that my subordinates were gradually adapting to life on the water.

Ruan Xiaoer began to instruct the sailors in water combat with his brother.

The three brothers of the Ruan family were born in fishing and practiced well.

When he was a private businessman in the park, in order to avoid the arrest of the government, protect the goods, and grab the land, he often had to fight with people, and practiced a good means of fighting on the water.

Although they are from a wild road, they don't understand regular water warfare.

But Liang Shanshui's current combat of this scale is something they are good at familiar with.

Instruct sailors on how to sail small boats and big boats freely and quickly in the water, how to disperse and assemble, how to hide, and how to be a water ghost who can quickly chisel through each other's boats.

Of course, the most important thing is how to fight the enemy in the water!

In addition to practicing balance on the boat and fighting with people.

Ruan Xiaoer also ordered all the sailors to go into the water, holding large knives or axes in the water, swimming in the water to advance and retreat.

When swimming, the water can only reach the waist of the sailor, not to the chest.

This requires sailors not only to be able to swim, but also to have good swimming skills and master skills such as treading water.

Those who fail to pass continue to stay in the water until they learn.

In order to train the sailors as soon as possible, Ruan Xiaoer spent the month on the water in addition to supplying food and other materials after crossing the shore twice.

Looking at the information presented by Zhu Gui, knowing that the Sailor Battalion had grown rapidly under the leadership of the Ruan family brothers, Shi Jin was also relieved.

Shi Jin put down the information about the sailor and said, "Is there any other information?" ”

Zhu Gui said, "Jinbaoshan has started to produce green salt a few days ago, and 30,000 kilograms were sent this afternoon. How is Big Brother going to sell them? ”

In the past, Shi Taigong's connections were there, and Shi Jin didn't worry about how to sell it.

Now that I have come to Shandong, my previous connections are temporarily useless. Everything has to start from scratch!

Shi Jin asked, "I asked you to inquire about the salt merchants and salt sellers in Shandong, how did the investigation go?" ”

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Big brother, I've already found out." There are three largest salt sellers in Shandong, namely Zhu, Li, and Hu in Linyi, Zeng's family in Lingzhou, and Kong's family in Qufu. However, since the Chao family of Dongxi Village accepted it by the Tota Heavenly King, it has also risen very quickly in the past few years, and it is about to be able to sit on an equal footing with the other three! ”

Shi Jin couldn't help but say when he heard it: "Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai? ”

Zhu Gui hurriedly replied, "Big brother, this Chao family is the family of Zheng Chao Gai in Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, not far from Liangshan, this Chao Gai is nicknamed the King of Tota, who has been righteous and squandering money all his life, and loves to get acquainted with the best men in the world, but if someone comes to him, no matter how good or bad, he will stay in the village to live; When he wanted to go, he gave him two pieces of silver to help him get up, and he earned a lot of fame. Of course, he can't compare with you, big brother! ”

has been living in this era for 2 years, and Shi Jin is no longer surprised to hear that Chao Gai, the king of Tota, is a big salt seller.

Lao Tzu sells illicit salt, runs a restaurant, and earns six or seven thousand taels of silver every month. Even if Lao Tzu gave a high salary, it only supported nearly 200 or so customers.

You girl, I wish the family village to feed one or two thousand villagers. This Zengtou City is even more powerful, gathering five or seven thousand people.

Even if there is an ancestral industry to support, it is impossible to support so many Hakka families with the income from the fields.

Where does the money come from?

It's not just that he relies on the means of selling illicit salt and reselling materials to make money to make a living.

Hearing that Chao Gai was a big salt seller, Shi Jin was not surprised, but he was also very curious. "Zhu Gui, go. Let's go meet this Tota Heavenly King for a while! ”
